Brinztech Alert: Database of Nuove Maglie Calcio Poco Prezzo is on Sale

Dark Web News Analysis

A threat actor on a known cybercrime forum is advertising the alleged sale of a database from Nuove Maglie Calcio Poco Prezzo (magliecalciopocoprezzo.com), an Italian e-commerce website specializing in low-cost soccer jerseys. The database reportedly contains 60,000 lines of data with an alleged leak date of 2025, suggesting the data is current.

This claim, if true, represents a catastrophic and fundamental security failure. The data samples indicate the leak includes extensive customer PII (names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, dates of birth).

Most critically, the samples include fields for cc_expires (Credit Card Expiration) and cc_cvv (the 3-digit security code). Storing the CVV (or CVC2/CID) for any length of time after a transaction is authorized is a severe, direct violation of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). This data is strictly prohibited from being stored at all, even if encrypted.

The presence of this data in a leaked database proves a systemic failure in payment processing security, providing criminals with a complete toolkit to commit mass financial fraud.

Key Cybersecurity Insights

This alleged data breach presents a critical and immediate threat:

• Extensive PII Exposure: The leaked database contains a wide range of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) including names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and dates of birth, significantly increasing the risk of identity theft, phishing, and targeted social engineering attacks against affected individuals.
• Critical Financial Data Risk (PCI-DSS Violation): The presence of cc_expires and cc_cvv fields in the samples suggests that highly sensitive payment-related information is exposed. This is a major violation of PCI-DSS compliance and dramatically increases the risk of direct financial fraud.
• Credible Breach Event: The detailed offering on a monitored hacker forum, along with specific data samples, a stated record count, and acceptance of escrow/middleman services, indicates a high likelihood of a genuine and marketable data breach.
• Anomalous Leak Date: The reported “Leak date 2025” is highly unusual. As the current date is November 2025, this is being marketed by the threat actor as fresh, highly current data, making it more valuable and actionable for criminals.

Mitigation Strategies

In response to this claim, the company and all e-commerce retailers must take immediate action:

• Immediate Incident Response & Verification: The affected organization must promptly initiate a comprehensive incident response, verify the authenticity and scope of the alleged breach, and, if confirmed, immediately notify affected customers, their payment processor, and relevant data protection authorities (like the Italian Garante per la protezione dei dati personali) in accordance with GDPR.
• Mandatory Password Resets & MFA Enforcement: Implement a mandatory password reset for all user accounts and strongly encourage or enforce Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to mitigate risks from credential stuffing.
• Customer Education on Phishing & Identity Theft: Proactively communicate with customers to warn them about the heightened risk of targeted phishing and financial fraud. Affected individuals should be advised to contact their banks immediately to block or monitor their credit cards.
• Enhanced Dark Web Monitoring & Threat Intelligence: Strengthen continuous dark web monitoring and cyber threat intelligence services to detect any further sales, distribution, or discussion of the compromised data, as well as to identify new threats targeting the organization or its customers.
